This book provides librarians and teachers an indispensable guide for quick-reference on the best in children's literature. It has long been used as a guide to collection and curriculum development as well as readers advisory. This new 2005 edition includes background on all the titles given awards since the awards began (Newbery in 1922, Caldecott in 1938). New to the 2005 edition is an essay on "Literature for Youth: A Means to the Endless" by the noted storyteller and author Janice Del Negro. She discusses what we give to children when we give them books and explores the role of the librarian in connecting children to books in meaningful ways.
